Da-Trans

What Da-Trans does

Da-Trans (ДА-ТРАНС) is a privately held Russian freight forwarding company headquartered in Moscow, founded in 2006 and operating as a B2B logistics intermediary for small and medium businesses across Russia, the CIS, and Kazakhstan. The company markets multimodal transportation services — road, rail, air, and sea freight — together with both dedicated-vehicle (1.5–20 tons) and consolidated LTL (from 500 kg) formats, plus specialty capabilities for oversized cargo (up to 90 tons, with Rosdormonitoring permits), dangerous goods, hard-to-reach destinations including Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Oblast, and an LTL option offering up to 35% savings versus dedicated transport.

The operational technology stack is conventional for an asset-light forwarder: GPS-enabled real-time cargo tracking, a public online cost calculator and tariff tables, electronic document exchange (EDO), and a 'Transport in Transit' portal showing live fleet positions. The company runs a 24/7 toll-free phone sales operation (8-800-250-06-60), assigns a personal manager to each order, and supplements this with self-service quoting, Telegram and Viber messengers, and a Telegram bot. It is registered in the GosLog state register of transport-forwarding activity notifications (entry GL-B044-00112-00/00015358, dated 08.05.2026).

Da-Trans monetizes freight on a per-shipment basis with pricing driven by weight, distance, vehicle type, and chosen format, and layers in ancillary paid services such as cargo insurance (from 0.2% of cargo value, complimentary up to 1 million rubles for new customers), loading/unloading, warehousing, security escort, and container sales. The company cites 9,000+ SMB clients, 1,320 cities of delivery coverage, 60+ employees, and 6 sales offices (Moscow, Saratov, Engels, Krasnodar, Samara, Chelyabinsk), serving industrial verticals including oil and gas, mining, metallurgy, chemicals, construction, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and trade. No revenue, funding, or ownership data is publicly disclosed.
